"But it la the hinge of my whole tory, which only needs something from you to complete it, and after all it is not any thing." replied Tilton. under tneinnu- ence of these representations, or rather misrepresentations, ehe affixed her name. Afterward, when reflection aroused ner conscience, she went to Dr. Storrs and informed him of the falsity of what she had signed. All this was weak and foolish, it is true, and we are not saying that it establishes innocence, by any means. But it was juat such a weak act as might be expected of a weak and harried woman under the circumstances, and, besides) tallies so far with the statements of other credible persons. Like the rest of Mrs. Xilton's story, as it appears in the full report, it is a consistent and apparently honest explanation, which bears the indications of truth, and, to say the least, is quite as likely to be true as the presumption that a woman apparently so devoid of base impulses could be the ingenious falsifier and diabolical hypocrite Bhe has been painted. .

BY TELEGRAPH TO TEE OHIO STATE JOURNAL Night Dispatches. When our venerable Governor talks by V,aar.l about the Mexican war.it is all right, he is discussing a freah subject. But when it is suggested that in naming the Drinciples settled by a war that took ' place twentyBve years afterward, he ought not to ignore, the moBt important, the suggestion is voted out of place, because It. i.rtin to an bid issue. The trouble with the issue is not its age. The Gover- ,r ia lint, an HVOrBB tO antiUilV S8 all that. There is other milk in the cocoa. nut. The testimony of Mrs. Tilton as pub lished In full in the New York papers modifies very much some of the impres sions conveyed by the botched and hag- irled summary sent over the wires. Not only are the explanations of important points more complete and Batislactory, but the prima facie evidence of the Bin-eerily and truthfulness of the narrative is greatly strengthened. Whatever else this pitiful story may be, it is difficult to avoid the conviction of its entire sincerity, and that it is not the production of an artful, licentious and mendacious woman. Mrs. Tilton is evidently great in her weaknesses, and especially those peculiar to her sex, which last is not saying much to her disparagement, but the very weakness she has betrayed goes far to increase the improba- bilitv of her framing an ingenious lie to conceal ffuilt or evade its confession. The stroneest proofs against her are the writ ten statements signed, as ehe acknowledges, in her own hand, and yet these are not the sort of documents the writing or signing of which a guilty -woman would unhesitatingly confess to A mind conscious of misdoing would ihave been more likely to deny the au thenticity of these statements than to riek incurring the suspicion almost Insepara ble from an acknowledgment of their genuineness. But Mrs. Tilton has given a much clearer evidence of her honesty by frankly avowing that the writing and sig natures of these papers are hers. We refer now more especially to the note shown to Dr. Storrs, and that which purports to have been a confession to Tilton that Beecher had asked for an exculpatory, paper to be used in defending himself before a council of ministers. Both these papers, Mrs. Tilton avers, were written by her huBband, not by her. She copied them in obedience to his wearying importunity, and signed them under protest. Not a word of the language was hers, and not a word, he says, waa true. She signed these pa- pen just as a weak, sick, tormented wo man probably would after it had been dinned into her ears that the act was nec essary to her husband's financial and so cial salvation. It is easy to sneer at this story and show that Mrs. Tilton stultified herself in signing that which she knew 4o be absolutely false, or of which, in her weak and half demented state she did not comprehend the full force and meaning, but the story is not intrinsically Imnrobable nor waa the art onwifely. It was rather to her credit that ahe consent ed on any terms to sacrifice herself and friend to un her husband. "I can't Infant Systematically Starved to Denlh-A Obastljr rractice He. vealcd.

Two young women who had been delivered of children within the past two days were found in thewarda of the "Hospital, ana six mucin mere ap proaching their connnemeni. an unmarried. One of the newly born chil dren was given away on Saturday, oy Mrs. Doran, to a iaay in Biiiuau"", for $25, and the other had been disposed of but how or to whom its mother could not tell. It was said that Mrs. Doran charged her patients only $5 a week for boatd, and 3l" lor aiienaame, mm understanding that she should havei the disposal of the new born children, and by this means she increases her income considerably, healthy babies bringing, in the "adoption market," a Bteady price of $2o, and sometimes more.

Vernon, Aug. 6. Considering numbers, the picnic given by the colored people here to-day, was a failure, although a very pleasant afternoon waa passed in the grove. The speech of Rev. James Poindexter was able and well timed, filled with good advice, and was replete with good sense and humor. The singing by the Columbus club attracted considerable attention and was frequently encored. A large temperance meeting, attended Principally by ladies, is being held at the Court House to-day.

Immense Cotton Receipt Fora-erles- The Forcer In Prison. St. Louis. Aug. 6. Betliel C. Alexan der, charged with forging cotton warehouse receipts, made a full statement of his attdirs to-day tor the oeneni oi me public as well as his creditors. He says the first forued receipts were made last De cember to prevent suspension or failure in business, and that none have been iasued since April. The whole amount of-spu rious receipts issued cannot oe ascertained, for it appears he made new ones to take op the old ones as the sums be raised became due. In the meantime he used ha crannine receipts in the usual way. and in July lie held nearly 4000 bales of cotton, out of the proceeds oi wnicn ne intended to take up the forged certificates. The proceeds of the cotton sold Phelps Bros. & Co. would have reduced the bad receipts onehalf. The total amount of forged receipts now out, he says, is $167,UUU, distributed as follows: Bank of the West, $42,000; German Savings, $24,000; Mechanics, $20,000; Fourth National, uncovered, $10,000; Third National, $45,000; Fisk & Bocker, commission house, $12,000; Hon. Erastus Wells. $14,000. His assets are worth $280,000: liabilitses $313,000. He refers to the fact that the money raised on bogus receipts was put into his business instead of being spirited away. As evidence that he did not intend to defraud anv one. he acauits his partners of blame entirely, Baying they knew nothing whatever of his fraudulent transactions. He is still in prison and will probably remain there until it ia decided what action shall be taken in the matter. His creditors held a meeting this evening to discuss what shall be done in the premises, but the result has not yet transpired. Alexander offers to assist in the settlement of affairs of the firm, and says he can do it at a great saving to creditors. He says he paid young Shepard $1000 for making the forged signature. TENNESSEE ELECTIONS. POLITICAL. Convention of Mlehtaan meiarmers. Lansing, July 6.

No serious North Carolina Election Disturbance at Wilmington. Wilmington, Aug. 6. The election for Superintendent of Public Instruction, Congressmen, Judges, Solicitors, members of the General Assembly and county officers took place in this State to-day. In this city the election passed off quietly until nearly time for the polls to close, when James Heaton, a Republicin politician, created a disturbance and successfully resisted the power of the city to arrest him for some time, being backed by a negro mob of several hundred. The whites took no part in it. The negroes now fill the streets and excitement runs high. A few precincts received show Conservative gains oh the vote of Merrimon and Caldwell in 1872. The great interest here centers on the election of a J udge of the 4th district, the opposing candidates being Daniel L. Russell, Republican, and the present incumbent, A. A.

The election to-day was unusually quiet. The interest manifested in the election by merchants was never witnessed before, nearly all the stores being closed and the proprietors and clerks at the. polls working for the Conservative ticket, and notwithstanding the lines between the black and white races were strongly drawn, more colored men voted the Conservative ticket than ever before. It is generally conceded that the Conservatives have swept the city and will carry the county and elect the entire ticket by 1500 to 2000 major ity.

Bomanee or Two Tonne Bridge Painters. Eastoll (la ) Free Press.l About thirty years ago the Delaware bridge was just us it is now much in want of a coat ul good paint, wen Bpreaa on, and the managers then uidered its be ing forthwith done, as worK at preaeni with that worthy class of our cilitens is not very pressing. As the job at that time was a pretty large one several painters were employed, and among the parly wai a young Jew, who received sixty two and a half cents per day for his labor, and his brother was then employed by Asa Packer at $100 per annum. But low wages and salaries did not stamp out their indomitable energy and perseverance, for shortly afterward they both went to California, where there was then a wide and profitable field for energy and enterprise, lUBt such as they possessed and used to great advantage, wnicti secured to inem a lartre amount oi weaitn. ia uue uuic thev returned to New York, which gave them a more suitable field for employing their large capital for a time in niercan tile pursuits; but latterly prominent bankers in large financial operations on their own account, and agents tor tne Messrs. Rothschild. JNow, reader, wno do you think these two young Jews are, whom we have hastily described ? rvny none other than the Messrs. Seligmans, so prominently connected with Uncle barn's $179,000,900 of live per cent, bonds, Economy In the Kitchen, Order is said to be heaven's first law, and nowhere amongst the doings of mortals iB it more important than the multiplied operations of the good housewife in the heat and steam of that eagerly sought laboratory, the kitchen. She, the queen of this workshop, has a toilsome and monotonous time of it, to say the least, and everything that can be done to lighten this toil, lessen her steps, and compassionately lift the burden from her back, should be done. Conveniences to do with, and these arranged in such order as will shorten labor and rest the weary feet, are the primary Bteps to cheer and lighten toil. Her own good sense will suggest that, of the thousand little things in uae, she must, to economize time, have them so located that she can put her hands upon them in the dark. Thing thus arranged in convenient order, and always in their places when not in use, will save very many tiresome atepa and much time, and will greatly facilitate progress in work. There is no poaition connected with farming that requires to be so instant in thought, in season a'nd out of season, as that of the housewife. When cooking, she must have her thoughts revolving at the rate of three hundred revolutions in the minute, or some of the numerous irons are sure to burn. Thosecakes, that roasting coffee, and numerous other things, must be attended to at the right moment, or we sit down to burned cake, coaled coffee, or a dish of pork and beans burned nearly to a cinder. "How's this?" Well, she lias so much to do, so many irons in the fire, and, withal, has been a little careless. How could it be otherwise ? Just a little carelessness on her part iB sure to bring her to grief and her husband to burned or spoiled vitcuals, and to drink black swill and call it coffee. A good housewife must have her wits about her all the time, or the leakage from the kitchen will materially diminish the profits of the farm. Bit of meat, bread, cake' and pie, which could be just as well saved, are carelessly thrown away. In the course of a year, could they be placed in a pile, they would greatly astonish the cook and account for the hundred dollars' deficit in the farmer's calculations. A stream of little things daily pouring from the kitchen in a year's time would swell into a small brook which would prattle of carelessness and waste, and kindly teach a valuable lesson to all who would deign to listen. The swill-barrel is the key that opens the secrets of thelhousewtfe's dominions of cookery. If in the heterogeneous mass are floating in liberal quantities bread and cake, pudding and pie, potato and meat, it is ominous of careless and unthinking waste. WhatiB thrown into the hopper by the provident hand of the hirnier passes over the tail-board of the kitchen into that omnium gatherum the swill-bnrrel ; and the dollars that should go to clothe herself and children are swal lowed up in the greasy waters of that open-mouthed catch-all. Want of order and - care rob us of a mint of money, without our seeming to notice the leakage, without our taking heed to the lesson which is be'ore us from one year'B end to another. Wastefulness is the twin brother of poverty. At first they appear to be distant from each other and without a family look ; but as age creeps on they grow to look alike, and at last, when side by side in the poor house, the resemblance is perfect, and we wonder that we had never noticed it before. The true economy in the kitchen j nave everything in order and in its place; lo save everything that is useful. A little saved to-day, and day bv day as the months glide by, will insensibly grow into notice, and at last be properly appreciated. Extravagance is the other extreme, and, like wastefulness, swallows up the dollars without any equivalent indeed, they are in their results synonymous, both show ing the disappointed improvident crawl- ng out at the little end ot the cornucopia.

Luhrs, of the Sazerac saloon,, was caught by the elephant's trunk, turned around two or three times, and then raised to the beast's mouth, the animal seeming to have the intention of biting him. In fact his head was raised so high and with such force that the boy's felt hat had a hole broken in its top by collision with one of the elephant's tusks. A number of men sprang forward to cause the animal to release his hold upon the boy, which he did, throwing him aside with such violence that his right forearm was broken. The animal was much excited for about ten minutes, and prevented the boy's hat being obtained -during that time. The elephant's keeper was not present at the time, and no precautions had been taken to keep children and other persons at a proper distance from him. The boy who was injured had his left arm broken by an accident about a year ago. SclenllUcalljr Explained. One of the students at Davidson College, who was too lazy to do anything right, was in the habit of cleaning out his lamp chimney by running his finger down it as far as he could and twisting it around. After he bad cleaned it out in this partial manner one day, not long ago, a fellow student took it up and carried it to the residence'of one of the professors, with the inquiry : "Why is it that this chimney ia smoked just up to this point and no further?" The learned gentleman entered into an elaborate scientific explanation of why it wns, arguing with great lucidnesB and citing various authorities to show the correctness of his reasoning. When he had finished, the student said to him : "No, sir, you are wrong." "Why is it, then?" inquired the professor."Because the fellow's finger wasn't long enough to reach any further," replied the student. Table Ktlqnette. 1.

A letter from Hollistcr, Cat., dated July 12, giveB the following account of a curi ous adventure encountered by a stage- river : "Un Saturday, Juiy 10, as the New Idria stage was on its way to tbe mines from Hulliater, two masked persons stepped out of the busheB in a narrow place in the road and presented a shotgun at Mr. Burnett, the driver, demanding that liestiould halt and hand over tbe ex pres bag. On being informed that he he did not carry the 'express, they demanded of him what monev here was on the stage. Air. liurnett told them there was none, except whatcbange he had in his pocket, and they could have that ; but they said they did not want his money, and ordered him to throw on the bag. He refused to do this, hut gottlown from the seat, walked up to one of them, and opened the bag to show that there was no money in it while doing this telling the fellow to point his pistol in another direction. All thia time the other one was covering Mr. Burnett with a shot gun. After being satislied that there was nothing in the bag, the one with a pistol climbed up on the seat to examine for himself, but waa ordered down by Burnett, and. strange to Bay, obeyed the order. There were five passengers on the stage, but they were not molested, and did not make a move, although some of them were armed. The masks of the robbers consisted of a piece of cloth hanging loose over the face, with two holes cut for the eyea. Mr. Burnett, while on the ground, recognized both ot them, aa he was close enough to see through the holes in the acks. liurnett was not armed going up. but on his way back he procured a six shooter, ai he thought he might have a chance to use it ; and near the same place he met a man and woman both riding horseback. He stopped the stage, handed his linea to a passenger, and got down, and ordered both man and woman to throw up their hands. The order was very promptly obeyed, aa Mr. liurnett held in his hand a six-shooter. He then called on passenger to search them and take that dermger lrom the man a pocket; which was done and proved to be the eame one that had been held so close to him the day before. Mr. Burnett thinks he would " know that pistol anywhere. Burnelt told them to dismount and get into the stage, as he wanted their company to Hollitter. The woman wanted to know what he wanted with her, and was in formed by Mr. Burnett that, notwithstanding she was dressed as a woman now, he could not easily forget that face under the circumstances. Ihe driver called on one of the passengers to guard the captives while on the stage, and arrived here with his prisoners half an hour ago." Don't With the fclrphaal.

"But it la the hinge of my whole tory, which only needs something from you to complete it, and after all it is not any thing." replied Tilton. under tneinnu- ence of these representations, or rather misrepresentations, ehe affixed her name. Afterward, when reflection aroused ner conscience, she went to Dr. Storrs and informed him of the falsity of what she had signed. All this was weak and foolish, it is true, and we are not saying that it establishes innocence, by any means. But it was juat such a weak act as might be expected of a weak and harried woman under the circumstances, and, besides) tallies so far with the statements of other credible persons. Like the rest of Mrs. Xilton's story, as it appears in the full report, it is a consistent and apparently honest explanation, which bears the indications of truth, and, to say the least, is quite as likely to be true as the presumption that a woman apparently so devoid of base impulses could be the ingenious falsifier and diabolical hypocrite Bhe has been painted. .

BY TELEGRAPH TO TEE OHIO STATE JOURNAL Night Dispatches. When our venerable Governor talks by V,aar.l about the Mexican war.it is all right, he is discussing a freah subject. But when it is suggested that in naming the Drinciples settled by a war that took ' place twentyBve years afterward, he ought not to ignore, the moBt important, the suggestion is voted out of place, because It. i.rtin to an bid issue. The trouble with the issue is not its age. The Gover- ,r ia lint, an HVOrBB tO antiUilV S8 all that. There is other milk in the cocoa. nut. The testimony of Mrs. Tilton as pub lished In full in the New York papers modifies very much some of the impres sions conveyed by the botched and hag- irled summary sent over the wires. Not only are the explanations of important points more complete and Batislactory, but the prima facie evidence of the Bin-eerily and truthfulness of the narrative is greatly strengthened. Whatever else this pitiful story may be, it is difficult to avoid the conviction of its entire sincerity, and that it is not the production of an artful, licentious and mendacious woman. Mrs. Tilton is evidently great in her weaknesses, and especially those peculiar to her sex, which last is not saying much to her disparagement, but the very weakness she has betrayed goes far to increase the improba- bilitv of her framing an ingenious lie to conceal ffuilt or evade its confession. The stroneest proofs against her are the writ ten statements signed, as ehe acknowledges, in her own hand, and yet these are not the sort of documents the writing or signing of which a guilty -woman would unhesitatingly confess to A mind conscious of misdoing would ihave been more likely to deny the au thenticity of these statements than to riek incurring the suspicion almost Insepara ble from an acknowledgment of their genuineness. But Mrs. Tilton has given a much clearer evidence of her honesty by frankly avowing that the writing and sig natures of these papers are hers. We refer now more especially to the note shown to Dr. Storrs, and that which purports to have been a confession to Tilton that Beecher had asked for an exculpatory, paper to be used in defending himself before a council of ministers. Both these papers, Mrs. Tilton avers, were written by her huBband, not by her. She copied them in obedience to his wearying importunity, and signed them under protest. Not a word of the language was hers, and not a word, he says, waa true. She signed these pa- pen just as a weak, sick, tormented wo man probably would after it had been dinned into her ears that the act was nec essary to her husband's financial and so cial salvation. It is easy to sneer at this story and show that Mrs. Tilton stultified herself in signing that which she knew 4o be absolutely false, or of which, in her weak and half demented state she did not comprehend the full force and meaning, but the story is not intrinsically Imnrobable nor waa the art onwifely. It was rather to her credit that ahe consent ed on any terms to sacrifice herself and friend to un her husband. "I can't Infant Systematically Starved to Denlh-A Obastljr rractice He. vealcd.

Immense Cotton Receipt Fora-erles- The Forcer In Prison. St. Louis. Aug. 6. Betliel C. Alexan der, charged with forging cotton warehouse receipts, made a full statement of his attdirs to-day tor the oeneni oi me public as well as his creditors. He says the first forued receipts were made last De cember to prevent suspension or failure in business, and that none have been iasued since April. The whole amount of-spu rious receipts issued cannot oe ascertained, for it appears he made new ones to take op the old ones as the sums be raised became due. In the meantime he used ha crannine receipts in the usual way. and in July lie held nearly 4000 bales of cotton, out of the proceeds oi wnicn ne intended to take up the forged certificates. The proceeds of the cotton sold Phelps Bros. & Co. would have reduced the bad receipts onehalf. The total amount of forged receipts now out, he says, is $167,UUU, distributed as follows: Bank of the West, $42,000; German Savings, $24,000; Mechanics, $20,000; Fourth National, uncovered, $10,000; Third National, $45,000; Fisk & Bocker, commission house, $12,000; Hon. Erastus Wells. $14,000. His assets are worth $280,000: liabilitses $313,000. He refers to the fact that the money raised on bogus receipts was put into his business instead of being spirited away. As evidence that he did not intend to defraud anv one. he acauits his partners of blame entirely, Baying they knew nothing whatever of his fraudulent transactions. He is still in prison and will probably remain there until it ia decided what action shall be taken in the matter. His creditors held a meeting this evening to discuss what shall be done in the premises, but the result has not yet transpired. Alexander offers to assist in the settlement of affairs of the firm, and says he can do it at a great saving to creditors. He says he paid young Shepard $1000 for making the forged signature.

Bomanee or Two Tonne Bridge Painters. Eastoll (la ) Free Press.l About thirty years ago the Delaware bridge was just us it is now much in want of a coat ul good paint, wen Bpreaa on, and the managers then uidered its be ing forthwith done, as worK at preaeni with that worthy class of our cilitens is not very pressing. As the job at that time was a pretty large one several painters were employed, and among the parly wai a young Jew, who received sixty two and a half cents per day for his labor, and his brother was then employed by Asa Packer at $100 per annum. But low wages and salaries did not stamp out their indomitable energy and perseverance, for shortly afterward they both went to California, where there was then a wide and profitable field for energy and enterprise, lUBt such as they possessed and used to great advantage, wnicti secured to inem a lartre amount oi weaitn. ia uue uuic thev returned to New York, which gave them a more suitable field for employing their large capital for a time in niercan tile pursuits; but latterly prominent bankers in large financial operations on their own account, and agents tor tne Messrs. Rothschild. JNow, reader, wno do you think these two young Jews are, whom we have hastily described ? rvny none other than the Messrs. Seligmans, so prominently connected with Uncle barn's $179,000,900 of live per cent, bonds, Economy In the Kitchen, Order is said to be heaven's first law, and nowhere amongst the doings of mortals iB it more important than the multiplied operations of the good housewife in the heat and steam of that eagerly sought laboratory, the kitchen. She, the queen of this workshop, has a toilsome and monotonous time of it, to say the least, and everything that can be done to lighten this toil, lessen her steps, and compassionately lift the burden from her back, should be done. Conveniences to do with, and these arranged in such order as will shorten labor and rest the weary feet, are the primary Bteps to cheer and lighten toil. Her own good sense will suggest that, of the thousand little things in uae, she must, to economize time, have them so located that she can put her hands upon them in the dark. Thing thus arranged in convenient order, and always in their places when not in use, will save very many tiresome atepa and much time, and will greatly facilitate progress in work. There is no poaition connected with farming that requires to be so instant in thought, in season a'nd out of season, as that of the housewife. When cooking, she must have her thoughts revolving at the rate of three hundred revolutions in the minute, or some of the numerous irons are sure to burn. Thosecakes, that roasting coffee, and numerous other things, must be attended to at the right moment, or we sit down to burned cake, coaled coffee, or a dish of pork and beans burned nearly to a cinder. "How's this?" Well, she lias so much to do, so many irons in the fire, and, withal, has been a little careless. How could it be otherwise ? Just a little carelessness on her part iB sure to bring her to grief and her husband to burned or spoiled vitcuals, and to drink black swill and call it coffee. A good housewife must have her wits about her all the time, or the leakage from the kitchen will materially diminish the profits of the farm. Bit of meat, bread, cake' and pie, which could be just as well saved, are carelessly thrown away. In the course of a year, could they be placed in a pile, they would greatly astonish the cook and account for the hundred dollars' deficit in the farmer's calculations. A stream of little things daily pouring from the kitchen in a year's time would swell into a small brook which would prattle of carelessness and waste, and kindly teach a valuable lesson to all who would deign to listen. The swill-barrel is the key that opens the secrets of thelhousewtfe's dominions of cookery. If in the heterogeneous mass are floating in liberal quantities bread and cake, pudding and pie, potato and meat, it is ominous of careless and unthinking waste. WhatiB thrown into the hopper by the provident hand of the hirnier passes over the tail-board of the kitchen into that omnium gatherum the swill-bnrrel ; and the dollars that should go to clothe herself and children are swal lowed up in the greasy waters of that open-mouthed catch-all. Want of order and - care rob us of a mint of money, without our seeming to notice the leakage, without our taking heed to the lesson which is be'ore us from one year'B end to another. Wastefulness is the twin brother of poverty. At first they appear to be distant from each other and without a family look ; but as age creeps on they grow to look alike, and at last, when side by side in the poor house, the resemblance is perfect, and we wonder that we had never noticed it before. The true economy in the kitchen j nave everything in order and in its place; lo save everything that is useful. A little saved to-day, and day bv day as the months glide by, will insensibly grow into notice, and at last be properly appreciated. Extravagance is the other extreme, and, like wastefulness, swallows up the dollars without any equivalent indeed, they are in their results synonymous, both show ing the disappointed improvident crawl- ng out at the little end ot the cornucopia. The man who bas a good hmisewile, in horn order and economy hold a promin ent place, may consider himself as blessed among men, auu, n ne uaunub appreciate her, he deserves, the execration of all women, and to be pelted with rotten eggs by unfortunate men E, K. Slosson. years, Bon of H. Luhrs, of the Sazerac saloon,, was caught by the elephant's trunk, turned around two or three times, and then raised to the beast's mouth, the animal seeming to have the intention of biting him. In fact his head was raised so high and with such force that the boy's felt hat had a hole broken in its top by collision with one of the elephant's tusks. A number of men sprang forward to cause the animal to release his hold upon the boy, which he did, throwing him aside with such violence that his right forearm was broken. The animal was much excited for about ten minutes, and prevented the boy's hat being obtained -during that time. The elephant's keeper was not present at the time, and no precautions had been taken to keep children and other persons at a proper distance from him. The boy who was injured had his left arm broken by an accident about a year ago. SclenllUcalljr Explained. One of the students at Davidson College, who was too lazy to do anything right, was in the habit of cleaning out his lamp chimney by running his finger down it as far as he could and twisting it around. After he bad cleaned it out in this partial manner one day, not long ago, a fellow student took it up and carried it to the residence'of one of the professors, with the inquiry : "Why is it that this chimney ia smoked just up to this point and no further?" The learned gentleman entered into an elaborate scientific explanation of why it wns, arguing with great lucidnesB and citing various authorities to show the correctness of his reasoning. When he had finished, the student said to him : "No, sir, you are wrong." "Why is it, then?" inquired the professor."Because the fellow's finger wasn't long enough to reach any further," replied the student. Table Ktlqnette. 1.

A letter from Hollistcr, Cat., dated July 12, giveB the following account of a curi ous adventure encountered by a stage- river : "Un Saturday, Juiy 10, as the New Idria stage was on its way to tbe mines from Hulliater, two masked persons stepped out of the busheB in a narrow place in the road and presented a shotgun at Mr. Burnett, the driver, demanding that liestiould halt and hand over tbe ex pres bag. On being informed that he he did not carry the 'express, they demanded of him what monev here was on the stage. Air. liurnett told them there was none, except whatcbange he had in his pocket, and they could have that ; but they said they did not want his money, and ordered him to throw on the bag. He refused to do this, hut gottlown from the seat, walked up to one of them, and opened the bag to show that there was no money in it while doing this telling the fellow to point his pistol in another direction. All thia time the other one was covering Mr. Burnett with a shot gun. After being satislied that there was nothing in the bag, the one with a pistol climbed up on the seat to examine for himself, but waa ordered down by Burnett, and. strange to Bay, obeyed the order. There were five passengers on the stage, but they were not molested, and did not make a move, although some of them were armed. The masks of the robbers consisted of a piece of cloth hanging loose over the face, with two holes cut for the eyea. Mr. Burnett, while on the ground, recognized both ot them, aa he was close enough to see through the holes in the acks. liurnett was not armed going up. but on his way back he procured a six shooter, ai he thought he might have a chance to use it ; and near the same place he met a man and woman both riding horseback. He stopped the stage, handed his linea to a passenger, and got down, and ordered both man and woman to throw up their hands. The order was very promptly obeyed, aa Mr. liurnett held in his hand a six-shooter. He then called on passenger to search them and take that dermger lrom the man a pocket; which was done and proved to be the eame one that had been held so close to him the day before. Mr. Burnett thinks he would " know that pistol anywhere. Burnelt told them to dismount and get into the stage, as he wanted their company to Hollitter. The woman wanted to know what he wanted with her, and was in formed by Mr. Burnett that, notwithstanding she was dressed as a woman now, he could not easily forget that face under the circumstances. Ihe driver called on one of the passengers to guard the captives while on the stage, and arrived here with his prisoners half an hour ago." Don't With the fclrphaal.
